Digital Map Information
Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.
Delivery
Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.
Cartographer
Roger Ward Babson (July 6, 1875 - March 5, 1967) was an American economist, business theorist, and entrepreneur. Born in Gloucester, Massachusetts, Babson attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied engineering. During is time at MIT, he lobbied the dean to include a business course in the Engineering program, which was finally granted and called 'Business Engineering'. The 'business engineering' program was eventually expanded, and many view this as the genesis of the modern MBA program. Babson worked at several investment firms before founding his own company, Babson's Statistical Organization, in 1904, which still operates today as the privately-held Babson-United, Inc.. Babson was a prolific author and wrote more than forty books over the course of his career, with the most popular being Business Barometers and Business Barometers for Profit, Security, Income. He also authored hundreds of newspaper columns and magazine articles. Babson is also remembered as the founder of Babson College, Webber College (modern-day Webber International University), and the now-defunct Untopia College in Eureka, Kansas. He also ran for President of the United States as the Prohibition Party's candidate in the 1940 election. He lost to President Roosevelt, and also finished behind Wendell Willkie, the Republican candidate, and Norman Mattooon Thomas, the candidate of the Socialist Party of America. Babson married Grace Margaret Knight on March 29, 1900. She died in 1956. He remarried to Nona M. Dougherty in 1957, who also died before him, in 1963. More by this mapmaker...
